"This Time" by Pablo Cruise
Putting the "yacht" in Yacht Rock, Pablo Cruise embodied the San Francisco pop scene in the late 70s. They scored two top 10 hits that each went to #6: "Whatcha Gonna Do?" and "Love Will Find A Way." A number of other minor hits may also sound familiar to you, such as "A Place In The Sun" (#42), "Don't Want To Live Without It" (#21), and "Cool Love" (#13). With the arrival of the 80s, Pablo Cruise struggled to maintain a presence on the charts and broke up by 1986. "This Time" is an underrated anthem that kicks off the band's 1981 effort, "Reflector." With a bit more pep and energy than their usual soft rock style, this motivational tune gets you moving - more speedboat than sailing.
